In the cool judgment of the stock market, there is now one number for Werner Baumann's balance sheet as Bayer CEO: 50 percent. That's how much the stock has lost since the manager started on May 1, 2016. Bayer, celebrated in 2015 as by far the most valuable company in the Dax with a market capitalization of 100 billion euros, is now just about among the top ten of the stock market index with 57 billion euros. Investors are now hoping for a fresh start.
